Saccharum Resort

Saccharum Resort

On Madeira's southern coast, between the mountains and the sea lies the Saccharum Resort, the 'house of sugar water'. The hotel is built on the site of an old sugarcane mill and factory, which the acclaimed local interior designer Nini Andrade Silva used as inspiration for the design. Large pictures of sugar cane cover the walls, while historic alembic artwork adorns the restaurants. Amid the backdrop of the sugarcane theme stands a stylishly designed contemporary resort.
